Project Description

This is a project to port the Droid version of CyanogenMod to the milestone. While the Droid and Milestone devices are twins, they are CDMA and GSM respectively. Hacks include not flashing the boot image provided by the CM Droid package and some GSM configurations.

Status

CyanogenMod 6 RC1 (with CoburnROM hacks) will flash successfully, however it will refuse to boot (possibly due to incompatible stock kernel or that the milestone doesn't like unsigned ROMs). So far, flashing works from koush's ClockWorkMod Recovery and Open Recovery 1.14. When rebooted, the device hangs on the M Boot logo.

Downloads

PoC/RC #1: Download from my blog, Geek In The Family - 75MB.

What you can do

Pretty much this ROM is currently a playground, if you want to have a poke around, download a copy of the above versions of the ROM and extract it, and then poke around and see what makes it tick.

Other notes

Space saved for future use.

Cheers!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lesiroth:
Good luck man, I really hope this happens :)

You should check with the guys on and-developers.com, and their IRC channel #milestone-modding on Freenode for any progress on the bootloader ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kholk:
Hacking the bootloader is impossibile on our Milestone, the TI OMAP chipset runs in High Security mode and for switching to General Purpose mode you have to desolder and resolder the OMAP chipset on your mainboard, soldering the right pins for enabling the GP mode.

Anyway, 2ndboot can make us able to boot a different kernel (for now GSM modem is unusable, so we can't use the phone with the new?y booted kernel) and this is the way that we'll take on the Milestone for using a custom kernel.

No custom ROMs. Or at least not this way.

We'll NEVER be able to boot this ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Coburn64:
My my, that's negative. I do know about the custom kernel via kexec/2ndboot trick.

Nothing is impossible to be hacked, it's a matter of time and blood, sweat and tears. As Paul from MoDaCo stated, nothing is impenetrable.

I'll get this ROM booting, even if I have to wait a year or two before the Boot loader is hacked or a proper method is working.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nsane:
Good luck to you. I commend you for your efforts.

After 1 year waiting for the bootloader to be hacked...I am slightly skeptical. However, now that the Droid X has been released to the masses with the same locked bootloader, we might get some fresh eyes to look into this matter.

I would be happy enough with a custom kernel running on 2nd boot ;-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Moody:
SenseUI Mod

Hello, You might try using the mot_boot_mode file, which is also used with the SenseUI Port for the Milestone, I guess that would make this boot too? If I'm right, this is the boot sequence:

This is what I'm talking about:

"the ramdisk is located in /system/ramdisk.tar folder, it all starts here.

the ramdisk is opened by /system/bin/mot_boot_mode."

You should download the SenseUI Mod and analyse it's way of booting.

Good luck!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DAGr8:
the problem is not about being negative but you are facing it the wrong way .

the problem here is to hack the thing not to port an already existing mod .

Once the bootloader is bypassed they ll be hundreds of real ROMS .

Anybody can pretend at porting there own roms it is completely IRRELEVANT since it wont be possible until its hacked.

you said it 'even if I have to wait ' well there you go do like thousands of others and just wait . BUt please dont pretend at anything else , thank you .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Coburn64:
I am actually porting the ROM to the Milestone, in case if you're concerned that I'm lying. Check my twitter for progress reports.

@Mikevhl we may have a hope if we try that! Thanks for the recommendation!

Also, kexec is working. However, instead of rebooting Android with the Droid CM6 Kernel, it just reboots the phone instead. I'm working on a possible fix for that, thank Kiljacken for compiling the kexec module. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lesiroth:
So you're not going with that 2ndboot method?

In any case, my eyes are glued to your twitter account :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
dude your my hero:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] swistak:
It's kinda off-topic, but I just thought, why don't we go 4chan style on Motorola, and, for example, black fax local Motorola offices or something?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kholk:
As I said, it IS possible to skip the BL checks, and it's fully hackable...but...I know.... you don't want to resolder your OMAP.... :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if this mod is "Droid" based, you need to make many modifications to the startup..

the Droid is in no way protected, where Milestone has GSM radio protected, and specific drivers required to open it, which for now only opens when using the original "init" process of a milestone.. the "init" from droid disables radio completely..

but take a look on how i got the senseui port running.. i got the froyo partly running the same way, so im sure my solution used in senseui mod will help you along to make it work...it just requires some debugging and "adb logcat" so you at least can see what happens at startup..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kniffo80:
why not work together dexter? i think this may help out in particular cases ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ppcaddict12:
DO YOU HAVE FroYo running!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DAGr8:
I never said you were lying all I said was dont pretend ' about rom ' when even a basic kernel wont run .

if you have a workin kexec would you mind sharing it ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BATC42:
I'm very interested in your work since it seems that we will never see an official 2.2 from Motorola... I don't know if we are going to have the new update, here in France (2.1 update 2).

Well, I just have a question. On a french forum, someone posted a method to downgrade the ROM of the Milestone by implementing the right version of the bootloader in it, I don't know if I very clear. This member had some major problems with the 2.1 update so he decided to downgrade to 2.0.1. However he wasn't able to do it because his Milestone was using the 90.78 bootloader while the 2.0.1 rom was using the 90.73 bootloader. Eventulally, he managed to install the 2.0.1 rom on his Milestone by putting the 90.78 bootloader in the 2.0.1 rom.

So my question is : will it be possible put a bootloader in a custom rom in order to make it boot on the Milestone ?

(I would give you the link for the topic on the french forum once my account si verified)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greg_mp:
Actually this is a wrong assumption. HS chip cannot be turned to a Generag purpose.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Coburn64:
For those who are interested, here is kexec.

Devs should know the drill, insmod kexec.ko etc etc.

Originally made by Kiljacken (compilation, etc), shared by me.

As for the Android 2.0.1 on Boot Loader 97.73, he may have just made a custom update zip that nukes the system partition and installs 2.0.1 on the device.

Also, I updated my Boot Loader to 90.78ch, which is the XT702 Boot Loader - no bricks. Yet.

If anyone has a deodexed stock rom or knows the method for accomplishing this could you please post it up here? would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcgaynor82:
Download a stock rom from this forum or capture one yourself with rom manager, then do a google search for htc basic kitchen. You should find what you need within the first few results.

would much more consider picking up an incredible once a pure 2.2 rom is produced for it with no Sense what-so-ever!

i'd do it myself but a sandwich is always better when someone else makes it... i'm assuming roms work the same way
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
Im on a roll today, How do you enter recovery?
[Droid Incredible General] Whoareyou:
Shutdown the phone, hold the vol down button and press power, then in bootloader scroll to recovery and click on power and then once it boots into recovery press vol up and power to bring up the menu.

I happen to get my Ervius Visual Kitchen

(I do like EVK btw)

up and running, but after flashing, the roms wont go past the setup screen which says it will prepare the today screen... it just stays there...

So, I am willing to donate to anyone willing to construct for me a EVK with everything default using the stock 2.13.531.1 ROM...

i never had these issues when i used to cook for the xperia...

new kitchen, new dump, everything working great except for the Email link...

how can i redirect the email.lnk to HTC email client instead of the default windows email client?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
It always happens with HD2.

Just recmod NTFConfig.dll in Notifications enhancement package.

That will do the trick.

If you still need a kitchen, lemme know through PM;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] spikegotti:
ok thanks dude, will let you know the outcome :)

Sorry if this was already posted but I just wanted to share that the colored case mate tough cases are on sale from 29.99 to just 12.99. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] isolated_epidemic:
As far as i can tell its actually the stupid id case on sale. good looking out though.
[Nexus One Accessories] quickxlr8:
I forgot to mention, you have to select the colored ones to show the discounted price. By default, it shows the black and black for 29.99. If you select the other colors, it will show you the sale price of 12.99
[Nexus One Accessories] MirasHD2:
Thank you! Just ordered two of them!
[Nexus One Accessories] LuLuBaby86:
I've had my case mate case for about 3rd months and just recently bought another colored gel case. It has definitely protected my Nexus One in all its falls. Definitely worth the money.
[Nexus One Accessories] KidTech:
Are they still on sale? I'm order one after work..I need to protect this phoen dropped and got a little scratch on the corner :(
[Nexus One Accessories] KidTech:
Just ordered the black and green one, i wish they had the gray and blue in stock..
[Nexus One Accessories] bigo1087:
Just ordered the Black and Red One.
[Nexus One Accessories] scgolfer7:
Thanks for posting this!! I have been looking at this case for about a month or so but always considered $30 to be a little steep for it, but at $13 that seems like almost steal!
[Nexus One Accessories] quickxlr8:
welcome :) I too have been looking at this since I got my nexus but just can't drop $30 for one case. Now I have two for less than the price of one :D
[Nexus One Accessories] quickxlr8:
I ordered both of those colors.
[Nexus One Accessories] taiwanesee:
thanks to the OP, been wanting to get a good case for my n1 but the original price was a bit expensive. ordered the tough case and the card holder 2days ago and just received them now. the tough case is legitt! but the ID one is kinda .... lol but anyways thanks!
[Nexus One Accessories] negreenfield:
Dang, the colors are just so bright. I could have sworn they once had a grey. I may actually buy the blue and an extra black skin, it ends up only being $23, so still $7 cheaper than buying the black one itself.
[Nexus One Accessories] KidTech:
They did have the gray, i was going buy that one but was out of stock..
[Nexus One Accessories] scgolfer7:
Got my Red and Black one in, Picture is attached, Thanks one more time to OP.

That looks awesome! I think mines finally comes in today. Hawaii shipping always sucks :(

Ive got a black one, these are great cases. Really do a bang up job of protecting the N1.

I got the green/black since they had no more red. Not currently using it since I like the otterbox better. But, it was only $13 so maybe it'll come in handy some day :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skinflaps:
Coming from Blackberry, I've been frustrated with the stock dialer. Is there a dialer out there that I can load that is in qwerty format so i can search my contacts easier? I would love to be able to use just a normal qwerty keyboard with a "button" to toggle to a num pad. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] craigbailey1986:
Go into settings/keyboard/ and change the type of keyboard, you can choose the compact qwerty(blackberry) qwerty or dialer(t-9 type)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ruskiyab:
You can hit search on the home screen and start typing a name.

That or you can use T9 in the stock dialer dialer to find a name

No need to use your contacts at all

Guys...these are all valid responses. My suggestion is to give it time and get use to having a REAL Smartphone instead of that CrapBerry.
[General Questions and Answers] finnschi:
Hey guys I will be in the USA for 3 weeks soon and I have a HTC Desire..

What would be the best prepaid carrier for that phone? I guess I don't really have a big choice since there only are 2 GSM carriers, and none of them does support the 3G frequencies my Desire is Using... but well I would be fine with EDGE so I can at least use my Google Nav. and get my way around the public transportation system (GPRS would suck hard..)

I'll be in Michigan(Detroit area) as well as in Utah(Salt lake area). also most of my friends are on Verizon so id does not matter what carrier...

Any Ideas?

:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] hdbueller:
I would go with AT&T as they have better coverage than TMobile does. I have both right now and a lot of the time when my Tmo work phone has no coverage, my AT&T personal phone has at least edge and usually 3G.

Hope this helps.......Later

I know it has to be something I missed but I recently rooted using the SimplerRoot for the OTA. Since the root, I have had apps disappear fro the App store and both Fring and Qik are using the rear camera vs the front facing one.

This is a fresh root. no backups from my previous Rom have been installed. Any ideas.

[Droid X General] Mudvayne622:
So at 12:30pm i took my X off the charger(100%). it is now 8:21pm and my battery is at 40% with minimal use(browsed app store, 2 calls, a few txts) Now reading the forums over at Androidcentral comes up with conflicting information.

1. Let the battery get below 15%, turn it off, charge to 100%. Do this a few times and the battery life should improve.

2. DONT do #1

3. After a few overnight charges battery life will improve.

So whats the real truth here?
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
I hear that these batts don't have a memory at all, and it IS NOT good for the batt to keep it plugged in after fully charged.
[Droid X General] scooler:
The truth is to do whatever the hell you want with your battery and enjoy your life.

Charge it when you can, and use it when you want. To op, these batteries don't really have memory, so don't worry about conditioning.

To the next guy, leaving it plugged in is fine because the phone is smart enough to trickle charge and maintain the battery heath. Don't need to outthink the power management engineers. They've got you covered.
[Droid X General] PlankLongBeard:
Yeah i have just plugged in mine after 11 hours of extensive use. I swear. Of course gps was off but wifi was running the whole time viola first iphone competitor. It does take a lil to charge compared to the evo and incredible. It doesn't matter cause it lasts forever.

yes, i also dont think leaving it plugged in should be an issue otherwise the media dock doesn't make sense.If you have it on the media dock as your alarm clock during the night then it will eventually still be plugged in even though its fully charged.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] feanor512:
I've been running the same radio, ROM, and SPL on my Tilt for months. A few days ago it started having a white screen issue. Whenever the screen turns off, it is solid white when it comes on (either by me turning it on or receiving a call or text). If I turn it off and on again everything is normal. I've soft reset my phone a couple of times. Is there anything I can try short of a hard reset or flashing another rom/radio/SPL? Thanks!

Also, I can no longer uncheck check boxes with the stylus. I have to use the hardware buttons.

Yeah. I'm about go upgrade with AT&T and am going to get an Aria or an iPhone 4.

Have you even tried a hard reset to see if that solved the problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] feanor512:
I just flashed back to the stock ROM and it still happens. I guess it's a hardware issue. :(

I've never had an issue that I wasn't able to remedy by simply leafing through the forums here. However, this problem has put an end to all of that. I have the same exact issue as described by the OP and have absolutely no idea what to do. If anyone has any insight on the matter, please do help.

he states that in an all whitebackground a slight yellow line can be viewed on the left and a slight purp line is visible on the right edge.

is this anomaly visible on our captivate?

p.s. according to them this line is not part of the pixels and doesn't take up screen space.
[Captivate General] radi0chik:
I dont see any yellow or purple lines while viewing the white background of this forum.

Thats good I've had this suspicion that the captivate was cleaned up nicely for the U.S. compared to the Galaxy S. But then we get no front facing cam. lol
[Captivate General] LockeCPM4:
I agree. My captivate shows no such lines. The screen quality is amazing. It's better in sun light than regular AMOLED screens, but it could still be better.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I wont lie. In terms of sharpness, it isn't quite up to the iPhone 4's retina display. But this screen is down right beautiful. I showed it to my Fiancee since she's heard the whole drama of $350 vs. $500 and she didn't know I was going to get it today. The first thing she said was "oh my god, that screen is beautiful." She currently has the iPhone 3gs.

This screen is just flat out amazing.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Its a pentile matrix screen like the nexus one. Fuzzy edges on text.
[Captivate General] lordmaxx:
I agree amazingly beautiful screen. AT&T rep let me walk outside with him and he was quite impressed (being the typical Iphone worshipper) he was incredily impressed as am I...12 hours I'll have one :)
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I picked one up the instant that my local AT&T store opened today. The screen is good. I was coming from an older iphone so the screen is a step up, but compared side by side to the iphone 4 its not anywhere near as good. If the iphone 4 is a 10 out of 10 then this phone is probably a 8 out of 10. I would put my old iphone at a 6 out of 10 overall.

My screen has no lines in it or any stuck or dead pixels at all that I can see. So overall build quality is excellent in my book.
[Captivate General] oldfossil:
It's a subjective thing. I like the screen better than the iPhone4
[Captivate General] Kagoshema:
in the store the screen looks really bright, contrasty and awesome

the only thing is for me if i hold it 8in or less (although who holds their phone that close anyway) from my face i can see the pixels moderately well.

still probably the next best thing from an iphone4 screen
[Captivate General] ghost77:
Holding Captivate and Nexus one side by side , screen is definitely better on Captivate, same resolution , but brighter less reflective. A little bit bigger 4" vs 3.7''. I did not compare it to iPhone as i am only interested in Android OS, but it would be nice if resolution was 720p :D
